The Final Straw

Campaigning for a plastic straw free Scotland as part of a crack down on all single-use plastics.

80% of plastic litter in the sea originated on land - like plastic packaging from eating and drinking on the go. Find out how it gets to sea here: https://t.co/xQQ2FVFNzH

Great to have you on board @TGIFridaysUK! https://t.co/TIioPFODfz

@FinalStrawScot It is important that we all recognise that stopping littering on land will have a major impact in stopping pollution of our oceans. Well done @FinalStrawScot for promoting this fact. Let's stop our throw away behaviour @KSBScotland @CleanEuropeNtwk @strathearnrose @mgoldenmsp

[The Final Straw @FinalStrawScot]

@jamieszymko it’s an open offer. Lastly, the Scottish Government has announced that an advisor on disabilities will be appointed to the expert panel considering plastic straws and other plastics so no political action will be taken without considering the impact on those with disabilities.

[The Final Straw @FinalStrawScot]

@jamieszymko Secondly twitter isn’t a very useful place to discuss these important issues at length so if you DM with an email address I’d be happy to discuss this properly.

[The Final Straw @FinalStrawScot]

@jamieszymko Firstly the cost won’t fall on those who need a straw if all public bodies who ditch plastic straws commit to providing alternatives for those who need them.

[The Final Straw @FinalStrawScot]

@jamieszymko This campaign has been clear from the very beginning that biodegradable alternatives should always be accessible and there are sturdy, flexible and appropriate straws available.

Due to other business in the chamber the debate has been delayed and will start around 3:25pm.

[The Final Straw @FinalStrawScot]
